“There are really only two times when I’ve felt ‘in the moment.’ When performing dance and when performing music.”

Playwright and musician John Heimbuch sits down with Levi to talk about running Walking Shadow theater company with his wife, Amy Rummenie. John talks about his taking theater classes while in elementary school, staging improvised shows in a friends basement in adolescence, and his first experience with building worlds through LEGOS.

John talks about the inception and creation of his stage play “William Shakespeare’s Land of the Dead.” He also talks about starting a steam punk, art rock band and intentionally not being a singularly focused artist, but instead diversifying his creative output. And John talks about how introversion may not serve him well as a performer but has been greatly helpful for his work as a writer and director.
